Question 111

Amara and Jasmine are monozygotic (identical) twins who were raised in the same household and attended the same school.

Despite their identical upbringing, Amara's score indicated exceptionally low trait anxiety, whereas Jasmine's score indicated high trait anxiety.

Use your knowledge of genotype and phenotype to explain this difference in their anxiety levels.
